Oliver Smith is an artist, designer and developer. His work focusses on the myths surrounding large-scale systems, processes and computation. It engages directly with these systems through interventions, performances and installations as an attempt to gain or offer experience of otherwise intangible structures of power.

Oliver works predominantly within the framework of the Demystification Committee, a collaborative design practice established in 2016. He is Lecturer in Critical Digital Design and Image Making at the London College of Communication and a member of Supra Systems Studio.

MAGMD.uk

MAGMD.uk is a site for the MA Graphic Media Design course at the London College of Communication. The brief was to produce a site with a format that reflected the layered nature of the site. The final product uses a series of interconnected, pull out panels that go from the most constant content (the course description and information) on the left to the most changeable (the twitter feed) on the right.

In the background of the site content is pulled from a regularly updated list of inspirational links and presented as scrolling blocks. These blocks can be pinned to view, watch, or listen to the content the participants of the course have selected.
